  1. This really is going to be great series and @Seymor Smith I actually went to the final performance and I can tell you first hand it was great, I’m excited about seeing it from the first episode now they really uncovered some talent. In my opinion they couldn’t have picked a better professional team.

  2. If Nothing else, it will be great to see and hopefully hear Anthony Callea (singing) again. He’s So Gorgeous and Cute!
    Great Work FOX8.
    I miss you Anthony.

  3. Its a stellar team and the Foxtel promo’s have been really great.. I have heard the finale at the Regent is quite something. I’m really looking forward to it starting in a couple of weeks.

  4. As much as I think Ruby Rose is totally over-exposed and over-hyped, I think this will be worth a look – thank god Pay TV are trying new things because the FTA’s certainly aren’t.

  5. While I gather this is yet another twist on the reality format, will give this one a try. Interesting cast and the ads they’ve been running on Fox look good.
